Model prediction on the relation between randomly varied blank durations and alternation probability. (A) A period of stabilized perception of j continues from presentation ‘n’ through ‘o,’ and ends when further accumulation ∑A_j lifts the system across the region boundary on the top left of the landscape. (B) Outtake of panel A. Toward the end of the stabilization period alternations are promoted by applying short blank durations, whereas long blank durations strengthen perceptual stability. (C) Another outtake of panel A. At the beginning of the stabilization period stability can be strengthened by applying short blank durations (left), whereas long blank durations induce alternations to i. Simulation results using this model are presented in main text Figure 6A.
